I&P Group to plant 1,500 trees in Alam Impian

SHAH ALAM: A total of 1,500 forest trees will be planted under the 'Trees to Green' initiative by property developer I&P Group Sdn Bhd at the Alam Impian township here.

It is part of the company's corporate social responsibility initiative which involves upgrading and enhancing the landscape of Alam Impian's 12.4ha public park into a mini forest park.

The company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Berhad, carried out a similar effort in Bandar Kinrara, Puchong, in 2010.

I&P Group managing director Datuk Jamaludin Osman said the project was being implemented in collaboration with the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia.

"Work on-site will commence soon and is expected to complete by September 2012," he told a press conference after the launch of the project by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, here, Thursday.

It includes increasing the density of trees, planting of water edge plants and suitable aquatic plants at the lake area and introducingtion of pocket forest at suitable locations within the park.
